Terribly rude check-in manager and the constant barrage of extremely loud interstate truck traffic noise made it impossible to sleep. I knew this would be a lower-end hotel, but I've stayed in much better hotels in this category. I would not recommend this hotel.

« One of the Worst Hotels I've Had the Misfortune of Staying In »

I had low expectations of this hotel since it is basically in a truck stop off highway 5 - the only reason we booked here is that we needed a rest / overnight stay on our way from San Diego to Sonoma.
We made the reservation due to the good reviews on Tripadvisor and thought it would at least be decent. But, the manager who checked us in made a couple of snide comments and was rude - which added insult to injury since the room itself smelled like urine, the traffic is VERY loud and the hotel is very run down. We got a poor night sleep. The only good thing about this stay was that the room was relatively clean.
I would suggest staying at a different hotel if you need to stop for an overnight rest off of Highway 5, this one was terrible.

« I'll take Heritage Inn over Liberty Inn down the road »

The Heritage Inn was great find! It seems out in the middle of no-where but 4 miles to the North is the Willow Ranch BBQ. Wonderful Meal and the place stays open past 9PM. 12 miles to the East is Bakersfield with even more amenities. The following Sat night I stayed at the Liberty Inn about 30 mins South. But the best Restaurant closed at 9PM. What was left was fast food establishments. I liked the TV programming at the Heritage Inn. The Liberty Inn is so lame with the limited TV programming. The Heritage staff seemed more likely to smile. Not so with the Liberty Inn staff.

I usually only give a max of 4 stars since nothing in perfect, but I was so impressed with motel I would give more stars if possible. Stephanie (?) was at the desk when I arrived at about 4 pm. She was very gracious and even called the room later to see if I needed an additional blanket. The room was quiet even though right by I 5. I also couldn't hear anything from the adjacent rooms. I would highly recommend as a place to stay. Free WiFi, pet friendly, microwave and fridge in room.

« How refreshing! »

I must share that my experience here was absolutely made (5) Stars in customer service by Kim!
Yes it is located adjacent to I-5 making my first night of sleep impossible, but the care and kindness Kim provided made up for it.
Upon my early arrival Kim was gracious, patient, and helpful.
The second morning when I expressed my lack of sleep, Kim made my move to a quieter room effortless. She even went the extra mile to telephone before leaving her shift to check in on me.
I will take some Hwy noise any day to be treated in such a welcoming and caring manner.
Lastly, it evident that the owner of this property takes great pride in the service he offers to weary travelers... I am very grateful!

« Great location off Hwy 5 in Bakersfield. »

What a perfect overnight location right off of Hwy 5. Walking distance to a IHOP & Jack in the Box. We have stayed here before and the staff is extremely friendly and helpful. Once you get settled in, they give you a nice courtesy call to be sure all is good. We have a little 4 X 6 trailer we pull and the parking allows for pull through, so we were able to park easily.

« Roadside Transit Refuge »

The hotel is poised to accommodate road travelers in transit. It is right off of Highway 5 in the Bakersfield area. The rooms are clean, comfortable and stylishly appointed. My husband and I were traveling with a friend, and both rooms reflected the excellent standard one prefers.
At the check-in counter, the host provided a plate of cookies, a welcome treat after a long drive. Even though the hotel is located close to the busy freeway, we didn't notice road noise, and the host provided ear plugs for those who may be more sensitive to noise. The room had considerate little touches, like make-up removal cloths, a small coffee pot, two luggage racks and many pillows on the bed. The question we had on TV operation was answered swiftly by the staff, with someone coming to the room to assist (it was user error on my husband's part!)
The bathroom was spotless. Breakfast is provided, and the hotel offered gluten-free options that accommodated our traveling companion. We were hurried, so I was able to grab a couple of hard boiled eggs and coffee only, but there were many other options available. There was a breakfast room assistant standing by.
This is one of the nicest travel lodges that I have experienced. I've stayed at this hotel three times and each experience was excellent. Kudos to the host!

« Clean and Comfortable »

It was too late to make it to San Diego so we stopped outside of Bakersfield. We had a comfortable room, good TV selection, excellent WiFi, good shower, very comfortable beds, and efficient relatively quiet air conditioning. This property is just off I-5 so there is a little noise. This exit has the motel, a Jack-in-the-Box, a Subway and a gas station. Anything else is at least 5 miles away. Free breakfast was the standard cold selection with waffles and toast. The staff was friendly and helpful. Not a destination but a comfortable stop.

« Pet Friendly, Nice Overnight Stop »

This hotel is located right off I-5 freeway so there is a little bit of traffic noise. It is about 15-20 minutes away from the main part of Bakersfield, so if you are coming from that direction, keep on driving and you will get there (as we discovered). We were greeted by Mr. Kavi Patel, the General Manager. At check-in, we were given a welcome bag that included a few snack items, 2 cold bottles of water and a welcome letter telling us what was in the area (restaurants and stores). I was impressed with these smalls gestures. Our room for the 1 night stay with our large dog had a king size bed, was nearby the pet area, was clean, comfortable and fairly quiet. The temperature was in the high 90s, so the complimentary cold water and air conditioner in the room was nice. The hotel offers a continental breakfast which was enough to get us started in the morning. It was convenient to have the I-5 on ramp nearby when we were ready to leave in the morning. We will definitely stay here again if passing through Bakersfield on our way to/from our future vacation destinations.

The room was really nice but we had to drive 20 minutes to get to a non fast food restaurant. Minor thing but ... Every time we happened to look out our window the desk clerk was sitting in the front entrance area smoking and on her phone. It just didn't give off a very professional vibe. Probably not a repeat stop but appreciated the room being clean.

We stayed here on way to La from SF and as expected it was a bed and a room. We heard footsteps of people above us all night which was annoying and AC was super loud. Curtains did not close all the way. The bfast was free but in a tiny room so we went to the ihop next door which was perfect for the kids. The service was average, clerk seemed annoyed w us when we checked in and clearly did not like her job. I won't stay there again unless forced to. Plenty of gas and bfast choices at this exit.

« Great spot for a night on the road »

Husband and I were driving from San Diego to Seattle and decided to call it a night here. Even better it's pet friendly! It's an additional $10 a night though. It's right off the 5 so it's easy to find. We had a big uhaul with our car towing behind and so we needed to park in a very well lit area and this was no problem. We had a room on the 1st floor two beds -- it was fine, clean and a good size. No complaints really since we were just spending the night there. There's free breakfast - very basic, but it's helpful. Otherwise, there's not much food options besides a Jack in the Box. If you're looking for a place to call in for the night and you want something to simple with no frills -- this is your spot.

We were greeted with a gift at the front desk by friendly and informative Stephanie. There were only 5 rooms left when we arrived (without reservations) at about 9:00 pm on a weekday in July. We took the stairs to our room (no elevator). Comfortable bed and pillows, strong shower supply and surprisingly quite room even though the hotel is just next to the hi way.
We went for a dip in the pool, which was nice and cold and had it to ourselves. Repeat the next morning. Full hotel but only one other family tool advantage of the pool.
Excellent buffet breakfast as the Best Westerns are known for. Oh, the in room coffee is delicious!
Highly recommend a stay here.

Great place to stay to get off of highway 5 and get some good rest. This has always been a good stopping point before entering the LA madness. The rooms are comfortable and nicely appointed and the staff is always friendly. I do want to point out that the toilet seat in room 101 leaves something to be desired. It feels like toilet surfing as it shifts from right to left depending on which way you happen to move! Not a pleasant feeling in the middle of the night! Otherwise a very pleasant stay.

« Great for an overnight »

Surprisingly a busy stop. (If they are full there is another motel opposite which apparently takes the overflow. Didn't price/visit that motel.) Choice of eating at this exit is IHOP, Subway or Jack In The Box. The motel is, as previous travelers reported; an excellent choice for a comfortable stay. The two story facility doesn't have an elevator. Suggest calling ahead if you haven't already made a reservation. Their centrally located ice machine strains to produce ice later in the evening, so get your ice bucket filled upon arrival. The breakfast was far better than expected. Noteworthy were the English Muffins (and other pastries) individually wrapped made by a California bakery. Good choice of all sorts breakfast eateries. The breakfast staff keeps things stocked and keeps the place neat and clean. Bottom line....if it is time to stop for the night you'll like this place.

« Stayed twice, will again »

Not a lot business around the facility except short order and gas stations. The friendliness of the staff, the room cleanliness, the bed, pool, et. al. make up for any minor short coming. Particularly liked the size of the room, was far from cramped. Bathroom not much different than the average, i.e. small with sink outside of tub area. Only shortcoming was that the ice machine dispensed very little ice but that could be a customer fault. Mostly a good experience for a single night to stop early and leave late before getting into the LA area.

I booked the BWHI for a planned overnight stop on my drive from San Jose to Riverside CA. I wanted a location that would be on I-5 and which would permit me to get through the LA metro area traffic within 2 hours.
Having read the earlier reviews on TA the BWHI seemed well suited for my needs. However, I was pleasantly surprised with the hotel. My room (103) was very clean, well appointed and comfortable. The staff was friendly and courteous. As a BW Rewards member I was given a "welcome bag" that contained snacks and a personally addressed letter from the manager.
The BWHI isn't your typical interstate truck stop motel; and its moderate price point makes it an excellent value.

« Not what we expected »

I know we shouldn't expect a whole lot from a place like a Best Western, but for some reason I remember them being a bit better than this one. This place feels more like a truck stop. My wife and I planned to stay here for an overnight stay on our trip down the I-5.
First of all, this motel looks much better in the pictures than in person. While the room and bathroom was quite spacious, there was an odd smell of "old folks home" when we walked in. Not dirty, but I think it might be whatever chemicals are used in cleaning the room, or maybe it was the carpet. Not sure. There was also a giant crack in our ceiling and a strange attic door over the bed. This was a bit unsettling.
The TV channel options were very VERY limited. We were surprised (and incredibly disappointed), especially being in a place where there is literally nothing else to do but sit and watch TV.
The beds were decent. Not wonderful, but was able to get a decent night's rest. They do offer a late checkout (as late as 1PM) in case you really wanted to sleep in.
They offer a disappointing continental breakfast. While I have had continental breakfasts before, this had to be one of the worst. I've never seen each pastry or bread item individually wrapped before. And everything tasted old and mediocre. The best part were the "make-your-own-pancakes" (not waffles...pancakes). Just push a button and wait a couple of minutes for it spit out two small rubbery pancakes onto your paper plate. The eating area was incredibly small and cramped...a small corner of the lobby. They also have an attendant watching us like a hawk, I guess to keep people from eating too much food(?). Very awkward and uncomfortable. Oh, and after all that, we were still hungry. So much for the included breakfast. We ended up having to buy out later.
Bottom line is that while this place did the job of providing a place to sleep the night for me and my wife, it certainly would have been better for us to cough up a couple of extra bucks to stay at a nicer place in downtown Bakersfield. Even if they didn't include breakfast, we would have to buy something anyway. Stay here only if you're desperate.

« Unexpected Gem »

We were tired of driving, just pulled off the road not knowing what to expect and found this Best Western next to a Vagabond Inn and decided to stay. We are crazy travelers, we don't always make reservations, we take our chances with familiar chain hotels, so we know a good find when we find one. The rooms were very clean, spacious, the customer service was super nice and a breakfast menu included food for people with food sensitivities. The seating area was small for breakfast, two small tables and a coffee table with a couch and a couple of chairs. They offered gluten free baked goods and almond milk which I have never seen offered at free breakfasts. Great Place to stop off if you are ever on I-5 and need to stop off. Ask for the Manager Special, it's better than AAA discount.

Only thing disappointing was there was no elevator to get to the second floor so it was a challenge if you have heavy pieces of luggage.

« Pet odor be gone »

We traveled with a small dog and experienced some pet friendly rooms you could tell were Pet odor rooms. Not here! It was a great choice off the free-way. Although, the dog could hear the traffic, I could not.

« Great stopover if on I-5 »

Easy on-off I-5 after/before Grapevine. Extra large rooms, friendly staff. Pool in season. (Hotel is not on route of I-99 to Yosemite.) Several restaurants nearby. Comfortable bed and lighting with plenty of parking.

« Road trip stop »

Nice, spotless room, great service, fantastic breakfast with a large variety of foods and coffee. Only complaint, ceiling fan buzzed and rattled. So close to freeway there is road noise if the window is open.

« Passing Through »

We needed to stay overnight before continuing our trip and this was a very comfortable room and bed. We did have very noisy neighbors upstairs but that could not be contributed to the hotel quality; just heavy footed individuals!.

« Worked out perfect »

I booked this hotel from Best Western App after a long day and couldn't drive any longer. The hotel was convenient to the freeway, the lobby was nice, the room was clean and the bed was comfortable. The price was great, I would stay here again if I am in the area

« Ok stay. »

Had an okay stay att this hotel. The staff were friendly and the parking was free and good. The room was clean but a little bit old. The Bathroom was ok and clean. The breakfast is minimalistic and not so nice but it works. It was safe and not noisy.

« Reasonable overnight stop on the I-5 crawl »

It's a clean, reasonable highway overnight stop. On this stretch of I-5 (Buttonwillow to west Bakersfield), your choices are between this and the Vagabond Inn, Motel 6, Super8, Econolodge - all around 80-90 minutes north once you get out of the LA grind. I would generally consider BW a little better then those others. There's a few similar options 45 minutes back at Grapevine (Ramada, HI) so it's a matter of where you'd need to rest.
Although it's also worth mentioning that depending on the time of year, you may smell a bit more of the farm life on this stretch of the highway, YMMV.
Still, this Best Western seems as if it's been remodeled or well cleaned in the past couple of years - furnishings, carpets, upholstery is all in nice shape, clean, well lit, and maintained so worth the few dollars more than the Vagabond next door. You might get a little highway noise but I didn't notice it. Decent amount of space, internet access, standard self-serve breakfast options, otherwise there is an iHop just down the street. Kids happy. Momma happy. Dad too.
Used this for the standard Disneyland run, as I see others have as well. ;)

« Good for a quick stop »

We reserved this hotel for a quick night's rest on our drive to Disneyland. We stopped in around 10:30pm, had a quick and painless check-in, and found our room easily. Our three kids were sleeping in the car, but woke up when we went inside our room. Our heater quickly warmed up the room, which was decently sized, and contained two clean, comfortable queen beds. There was a desk with a chair, and another large chair. The sink was large, and bathroom was average sized, but everything was clean and set up nicely. We couldn't find cartoons on tv, but it wasn't too bad.
We woke up around 6am, showered, and headed to breakfast. It was a simple, free breakfast in the lobby including coffee, limited pastries, apples, bananas, yogurt, and a made to order DIY pancake machine.
The breakfast was a nice touch to a decently priced room so we could fuel up before getting on our way to L.A. We would be glad to stay here again on our way down south.

« Nice stay »

After Driving about four hours from San Diego we decided to take a break for the next day and stop here. I got out of the car to a bad smell. I joked about it to the lady at the front desk and she said that there is a dairy down the street. To be expected in Bakersfield. We get to our room and to our surprise it was real nice for the middle of no where. I would stay there again. My two pugs like it too!!

« Bad Night »

Our stay started out poorly and got worse. It took 18 miles on local roads to reach here from CA58. This is not all their fault but it wasn't fun. I had received two e-mails from Best Western saying they were excited about our upcoming stay with them. I wasn't very happy when I arrived and it took 10 minute to prove I had a reservation ..... thank God I had saved a copy off the internet. The room was run down and in a poor area of town. The free breakfast next morning was so crowded (very small eating area) and looked so unappetizing we ate at the IHOP around the corner. The only good item was that it sits on Route 5 and we had no trouble getting started on our next part of the trip. Would not stay here again ..... too old and too expensive ($100).

« DON'T STAY AT THIS BEST WESTERN HOTEL »

This Bakersfield Best Western hotel is TERRBILE - stay anywhere else!! There is no value here! We paid $100 for a night's stay - what a rip off! The bed was AWFUL (lumpy and the mattress was very uneven). The HVAC unit did not work properly (sounded like a jet engine taking off). The room was dirty, the shower pressure nil and the bathroom sink plugged up (did not drain).

The staff here at Best Western Heritage Inn, Bakersfield, CA are so very nice and genuinely care about my stay and the quality of the hotel for their customers. I will stay at this Best Western again, and again and again....

« Good value, clean, spacious »

Staff was very courteous, room was spotless, and bed was very comfortable. Had separate bathroom/shower with sink outside and lots of counter space. Very pleasant stay, although pretty much in the middle of nowhere. If you stay, try the Willow Ranch Restaurant at the next exit north.

« Worth the stay »

I've stayed at this Best Western several times on my California trips. This Best Western is very clean, very up to day. Comfortable beds, pillows and they have remodeled the rooms to keep it up to date. The only complaint I have is that every time I picked my phone up, I had to re log into the internet which was a pain. I would stay here again for the price and value. Overall, it's a clean and quality Best Western

« Happy to recommend »

We chose Best Western as it appeared to have decent ratings and was a convenient stop over for our driving holiday. We had the Spa Suite (107) - it was spacious with a very comfortable king bed, flat screen, big open plan bath and decent wifi. Bed sheets could do with a replace, they were a little pilled and worn.
Continental breakfast was the usual fare, but the little muffins seemed a day or two past use by, I can't quite find a hotel chain that delivers fresh muffins daily, so if anyone knows of accommodation that does, please inbox me.
Hotel is dated, but warm and friendly enough. It's not designed to be the destination, more a good night's sleep on your way to a destination. Scary toilet though, it sounded like those you find on a large jet plane. The sound is almost deafening and it was a shock to the senses during the night time, er....constitutional......
Photos of this room are available upon request.

« Great Stay off the 5! »

This hotel is a great pick if you are driving from Southern CA to Northern. It is clean, comfortable bed and breakfast is on par to other hotel breakfasts. There's an Ihop close by if you want something more. Other than Ihop and Jack in the Box there isn't much around, but other than that it was a great stay! Friendly Staff makes it even better!

« New, very nice and practically empty »

I guess people don't know about this very nice Best Western out on Interstate 5 just west of Bakersfield. We found it by luck and were pleasantly surprised. Very nice rooms and super service. Breakfast was more than adequate. IHOP was actually pretty good for diner. Your only other choice is Jack-in-the Box or Subway. This is an excellent hotel if traveling along 5. Other than the 3 restaurants and two gas stations there is nothing here.

« Better than I expected »

The room was very spacious and clean. Refrigerator and microwave a plus. Right next to I-5 but other than that in the middle of nowhere. One other hotel, two gas stations, Jack-In-The-Box, Subway, and IHop are the only things within miles.

« great wayside, pet friendly motel »

A small, but very clean room. Perfect for our needs. Courteous and helpful staff and a very good breakfast comes with the room. Truly a pet friendly place with plenty of places to "walk" your dog. I good value and I would recommend it for anyway with a requirement to stay for a night.

Too close to I-5. Passing trucks shook the room non-stop all night. The staff was pleasant and helpful. The rooms and beds were Ok for the price, which was well below what we had paid our whole 2 week trip.

« Hotel review »

Best Western Heritage, Bakersfield, CA is an excellent place to stay while transversing on Hi 5. It is well located, clean, nicely priced, and the staff is great. I was much impressed with how clean and orderly the hotel was and how well stocked the breakfast room was. The clerk who booked our reservation and checked us in was very helpful.

« Weary Travelers »

We were on our way to Oregon and needed to stop for the night. we used the 800# service for Best Western to locate a place close to where we were on our trip. They found and reserved the Best Western Heritage Inn in Bakersfield. We were pleasantly surprised by the room, cleanliness, friendly staff, etc. Breakfast was good - with a little something for everyone. Surprisingly - next to the freeway but no freeway noise. Was a great place for a brief overnight stay.

« On the outskirts of town »

The motel is clean and reasonably appointed. It could definitely use a strip outlet near the desk inn the rooms. All of the towels are of decent quality and the shower head has a pulsating feature desired by the long distance traveler. The bedding as well as the bed was first quality and the flat screen accompanied the Direct TV service. The down side to this property is there are two filling stations that sell fuel at a ridiculous price, so fill up before getting here. There isn't a great choice for restaurants (Jack In The Box and IHOP) and delivery out here is out of the question. The breakfast is basic but good and the staff and management are very attentive. Stayed two nights this trip and that included Labor Day. Would come again!

Getting to the hotel ...

·From: All directions. Great overnight stop. I-5 & Stockdale Highway. 15 miles west of Bakersfield. Five miles south of Highway 58 West. 111 miles north of Los Angeles. Six miles North of Buttonwillow Raceway. One and a half hours north of Six Flags Magic Mountain®.
